You have got to be FREAKING KIDDING ME!

 Just a heads up this is a rant post about my job! We are all pissed!

So I work for a town of about 600-700 people on a lake. Well, the clerk treasurer that was here when I was hired, was not going to run for re-election unless no one ran for the C/T job. The board was pretty adamite about jumping on getting a replacement for her. Let me tell you...I hope they are kicking themselves in the teeth right now!

So, we found out there was someone running for the C/T job. We all had our theories as to why she was running. My current C/T  had tried to get the one that was running into the office for training since we found out she was on the ballot. This C/T job is not all roses and unicorns. She works her ass off! She is here sometime to 5:30 or later. She does more than most C/T's have or need to do. That is why we love her. She goes above and beyond and she stands up for the employees! 

Anyways, so she had been trying to get the new C/T in for months. Finally she gets her to agree, all of a sudden she gets covid...again. Second, time within like 2 months. Amazing! Then she finally comes in and she was suppose to be here at like 8:30am because they had a company come in to train her on our system. The training lady was going to be here at 9am. Here she comes strolling in at 8:50am. Then they are paying this lady triple digits an hour and she has to leave to go home and let her dogs out. Said she will be back in 20 minutes. 45...45 minutes later here she comes. She smells like she had smoked a whole pack within those 45 minutes. It was gross!

On a side note, she smokes and drinks like a fish!

Moving on. So that whole week she was there maybe 17 hours. Now mind you the NEW C/T gets paid the last two weeks of the year, not the current one that was in office. So my current C/T is working for free, trying to help the new C/T learn all this necessary shit to keep the town running smoothly. 

So on to this past week. Monday rolls around. Current C/T is in at 9:20. She told the new C/T to be here at 9am because they had minutes to do. They had to get around for the council meeting that is next week. So 9:30 rolls around, the new C/T is not here. 10am rolls around. Nothing. 10:30 rolls around. Absolutely nothing. Oh I think it was about 10:45/11 and the town council president contacts her and tells her that he received a voicemail and she is sick and not coming in today. 

Now let me tell you, the current C/T does not get upset, she is calm, always happy and just all around a wonderful person! I think I saw red! LOL.

So Tuesday comes around. We are all waiting for her to come in. I was going to text the C/T that was training her when she came in. Nothing. She never came in. I don't what time it was but all of a sudden we get the she just resigned text message! I was like WHAT THE FUCK!? 

I'll be honest. I didn't think she would make it, but I thought she would at least make it through the month of training.

Anways, fast forward. The C/T that was training (the one that was here when I was hired in) came in last week and got things around for the council meeting that is tonight. Doing other things, trying to make the town run, while we wait to hear who was being appointed.

Well, guess what?! Fast forward a week and no one. ABSOLUTELY NO ONE has been appointed to the C/T job! AND To top it off...guess what?! It is payroll week! So, if payroll was not turned in today (Tuesday) so we can be paid on our normal days (Thursday), we will not get a paycheck. So yippeeee....no paycheck. 

You wanna know pissed! This gal is pissed along with everyone else in this office. It's ridiculous!

YES there is wayyyy more to this story and the reasonings we think that no one has been appointed but there is not enough time in a day to write that all out!

On a sidenote: My C/T said that she would come back if appointed. She has no problem with that. She has ran this town the last 4 years and it has ran so smoothly, minus two council members that have personal agendas, but overall, everything else is smooth. She is great. She is personable. She knows her shit!

Take that in people. How pissed off would you be if you knew you were not getting paid on payday!?

RANT OVER!
